UL's Greg Davis named LSWA Hitter of the Week

UL first baseman Greg Davis and UL-Monroe pitcher Alex Dumaine were named on Wednesday as the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Baseball Players of the Week following their respective performances over the weekend. The pair were selected by a panel of statewide media members.

Davis, a junior, was named the LSWA Hitter of the Week after going 6-for-8 (.750) with a home run, a double, eight RBI and four runs scored in the Ragin' Cajuns three-game sweep at South Alabama. Davis drove in five runs and added the game-winning hit in the Cajuns' 8-7 victory in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

After helping the No. 2-ranked Ragin' Cajuns claim the outright Sun Belt Conference regular-season title, Davis added three hits and drove in three runs in a 13-3 victory that helped the Cajuns earn their first-ever sweep in Mobile.

Dumaine, a senior, was named the LSWA Pitcher of the Week after picking up a pair of victories in his final appearance at Warhawk Field. The southpaw posted a 2-0 record on the mound with a 1.17 earned run average in 7.2 innings in helping the Warhawks earn a Sun Belt Conference series win over Georgia State. Dumaine pitched an inning in relief and fanned a pair of batters in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Panthers before earning the start in Sunday's finale, scattering five hits in five innings of work with three strikeouts in an 11-1 win.

The junior joins Greg Milhorn, Seth Harrison, Jace Conrad, Chase Compton and Carson Baranik on the list of Cajuns that have earned the LSWA honor this season.

UL returns to action Thursday with the first game of a three-game series against conference rival ULM at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field starting at 6 p.m.
